Democrats and Media Sabotage War Effort

Cemetery workers are the new victims in the war on terror. Oh, for the good old days when bodies were piling up and they could feed their families.
Last week saw a dramatic drop in Iraqi death rates, a clear sign the surge is working. America, the Iraqi people and the cause of freedom are prevailing against a foe that would have the world regress to the 6th century. How does the media report this spectacular news?
McClatchy newspapers on Tuesday reported:
In an effort at balance and to remind the world that Bush’s war is still, well, pretty awful, the article continues, “Even with less violence, many of those buried here are victims of the war, and the tragedy of each loss offers a counterpoint to workers’ worries about money.”
This is what passes for fair and balanced in the mainstream media. Ya gotta admire their consistency, if not their world view. Faced with the incontrovertible fact of progress in Iraq, the media still manages to make lemonade from lemons.
At least the media is so blatant in their bias that most Americans have caught on (and moved-on to Fox News). Not so with our Democrat led Congress. Faced with the possibility of success in Iraq, they have chosen to try to sabotage the war effort. First came the spin: ‘We may be prevailing militarily, but we’re failing, and Iraq is failing, in the political process.’ One can only thank God these guys aren’t members of the Iraqi Parliament.
When that sound-bite, endlessly echoed by the party faithful, didn’t take, the Democrats took more concrete steps to halt what they consider a Republican victory, meaning American victory in the war on terror.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill introduced a resolution to condemn the World War I-era killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks. Redefining this slap at one of our most crucial allies as a ‘moral imperative,’ Pelosi et al. seem intent on alienating Turkey, and endangering the crucial resupply line Turkey offers to U.S. troops.
Turkey is suitably outraged. And unlike the phony outraged ginned up by Pelosi, this outrage is real and has already had real consequences. In response to last week’s approval of the resolution by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Turkey recalled its ambassador in Washington back to Ankara.
Explaining this Democrat resolution can be summed up in one word. Sabotage. Intentional sabotage of the U.S. war effort, in a time of war, for purely political purposes. As Thomas Sowell opines, ‘It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this resolution is just the latest in a series of Congressional efforts to sabotage the conduct of that war.’
Imagine. Instead of putting aside partisan politics in the interest of America, these Democrats are instead intent on doing whatever they can to sabotage the war effort. This is a fact, this is shameful and this should be shouted from the rooftops.
Even Pelosi pal and un-indicted co-conspirator, Rep John Murtha, sees this and recognizes this won’t play in Peoria. In an e-mailed statement on Tuesday, he said, “From my discussions with our military commanders and foreign policy experts, I believe that this resolution could harm our relations with Turkey and therefore our strategic interests in the region,”
Other Democrat sponsors of this ill-timed, futile effort to sabotage our war effort are also abandoning ship. Leaving Pelosi to consider retreat. This time.
Though the left and some of the right have condemned author and pundit Ann Coulter for daring to call these guys traitors, I have to say I agree with her. Traitors. And, unlike Pelosi’s outrage, mine isn’t fake.

The adage, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” holds true. Rep. John Murtha has accused Marines of murder before any investigation, and investigations have proved that he was wrong. Sen. Reid declared the war lost long ago. See you in hell liberal bastards
